Private Internet Access VPN
Protect your privacy with Private Internet Access®, the world's leading VPN service for iOS users on iPhone and iPad. Private Internet Access®, or PIA, enables users to encrypt their network traffic and stay protected when online with our proxy servers. Add privacy and security to private and public networks when you browse the Internet and use WiFi, whether connected to a hotspot or at home. High speeds, unlimited bandwidth, connect with 5 devices simultaneously (smartphones, tablets, computers), no traffic logs, and 24/7 professional, native English speaking customer support.
WHY USE VPN FROM PRIVATE INTERNET ACCESS®?
• Low price. $3.33 per month if you purchase a yearly account ($39.99/year) or $6.99 on a monthly basis.
• Reliable and trusted VPN provider since 2010 with a proven no log policy.
• Privacy is our Policy. Here at PIA, we not only provide a great VPN service at a low price, but we also support organizations like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, FightForTheFuture, Creative Commons, Open Rights Group, Index on Censorship, freenode, Wireguard, Arch Linux, and many others.
We respect your privacy and anonymity.
BY USING VPN FROM PRIVATE INTERNET ACCESS®, YOU GET:
• IP Cloaking. Your IP address will be changed to a Private Internet Access IP address to hide your identity and location. Hide your IP address to stop data trackers, snoopers, and hackers from tracking your browsing and search activity.
• Data Encryption. Encrypt your internet traffic with our VPN proxy. Our trusted online privacy service creates several security layers which keep you anonymous and prevent access to your data. It’s time to change your WiFi habits. Don’t use WiFi without our secure VPN to proxy your internet traffic!
WiFi Security. With WPA and WPA2 now kracked, you need a VPN to protect your WiFi everywhere - not just in hotspots, coffee shops, cafes, hotels, and airports. If you use WiFi hotspots without encryption, your data can be seen, blocked, throttled, censored, or otherwise changed.
• Content Blocker. The Safari Content Blocker blocks ads, trackers, and malware while browsing with Safari.

“This is my go to app for VPN. Been using Windows version for years and the iPad version is great.”

“No hiccups, no crashes or anything. It just works great. Bear in mind you have to subscribe to the service for this to work. I highly recommend it.”
Scott Loflin, 09/15/2017
“Simple and solid. No issues even when traveling.”

“Love it. Feel safer when browsing the internet.”

“Hard to find a nit with this app. (...) The iOS app allows a quicker toggle on/off than digging into settings, for VPN hostile iOS apps like Pandora and Netflix. I like PIA’s value for the money, and I have not had any trouble whatsoever with the iOS app. I recommend this app, and PIA, as one of your layers of online security.”
DB Associates, 01/27/2017
“I did my homework, reviewing many VPN services. PIA was among the most economical, plenty of simultaneous connections and more than enough servers and services. (...) The speed is more than I hoped for. I can stream all YouTube videos. HD quality is superb with no buffering. I am happy to have this extra security on all our devices. My wife could not tell the difference after I installed it on her PC. I think I paid $39.99/year. What a bargain!”

Terrible App Reliability.

I am unable to use my VPN while on WiFi since the newest update. I don’t have the time to write in a request. I am likely to not renew come July.

It’s good if you’re just wanting casual use.

I was very happy with the price and the service worked well. I ended up switching to a different VPN service, but it was nothing that PIA did or didn’t do. Very good for the price.

Don't buy

VPN constantly disconnects recently in last few updates . Very unreliable I constantly have to disable and re enable vpn. Verry annoyed and wish I didn't buy a second year. I emailed support several times and the work arounds are not working and are unacceptable.

I hate this app

By nickybatman

I have been charged twice and the email I got with the login doesn’t work, there’s no number to call, I sent an email and never got a response, I’ve already put a bad review and nothing was said or done about it, this app is nothing but a scam to steal money

I just started using the app but I think it’s great

PIA is great in PC's, but the really need to work on iOS development

The latest update has caused more disconnects in the back ground and not even alerting me that I'm unprotected, come on guys!
Seeing constant disconnects over the last year of 2018-19, but I never see the app try reconnecting without me having to do it manually.
You would hope a company as large as PIA would be able to have fixed the issue in under a year that multiple reviewers have mentioned -- but the issue persists without a word of acknowledgement it exists. At least admit there's an issue and a search for a fix is underway. 🙄
Update 2019: Unsure what changed in a recent update, but the disconnects have gotten worse and tend to last even longer. 😖😖😖 Give us some glimmer of hope guys.

Fantastic - No Connection Problems + Fast Speeds

By Steve Rogers 1978ii

Almost been one year since switching from a certain bear service that had constant connection problems & slow speeds.
PIA has been fantastic since then. No connection problems & blazing fast speeds. PIA has a lot better options, too! I can see which access points have the best speeds and connect to them specifically, unlike the bear service. I am so satisfied with PIA. Great job, guys!!
😃👍👍

Network management fails to connect on untrusted wifi networks.

By JeffIsFrustrated

The new "network management" feature only half works. It will connect to vpn automatically on cellular (given that I have the switch on that marks those as untrusted), and if connected to vpn, it will disconnect when I connect to an untrusted wifi system, but when initially not connected (example: when not on vpn because it switched off when I connected to a trusted wifi system), it will not connect to vpn automatically when I connect to an untrusted wifi system.
This behavior has been consistent across a couple of dozen tries in different situations and across several choices of (US) server locations.
Update: Per the recommendation of the PIA response, I joined the beta program and downloaded the latest version (only a couple of days old). Made no difference. The app's behavior is the same.
Setting: iPhone 5s with iOS and pia app current, default pia app parameters other than network management. I'd have sent this through the app's "support" feature, but it is currently not offering a "contact" option, only a pointless search option.

You need to fix your WiFi management. I can’t connect to unsecured WiFi at all now
